The Fedora Internationalization (I18N) Project
The Fedora I18N project works on internationalization (i18n) to support the localization (l10n) of Fedora in many languages.
Translation of Fedora software and documentation are handled by the Fedora L10N project .
The goals of the Project are to:
- Develop, package, and maintain applications like input methods for different languages
- Improve applications and utilities to support and process different languages
- Quality-assure that existing applications meet i18n standards
- Support the infrastructure of the Fedora translation community

Input Methods

- SCIM is the default multilingual input method framework in Fedora
- m17n maps for Indic and other languages
- uim, a light multilingual input method framework
- gcin for Traditional Chinese
- kinput2 for Japanese

Fonts
- there are many free/libre international fonts, already referenced in fontconfig defaults or packaged by other major distributions, languishing in the Fedora wishlist in wait for a packager.
- Lohit Project. The Lohit fonts are a family of Indic fonts licensed under GPL.
- Liberation Project The Liberation fonts are a family of Latin, Greek and Cyrillic fonts licensed under a free/libre license.
The Fonts SIG takes loving care of Fedora fonts. Please join this special interest group if you are interested in creating, improving, packaging, or just suggesting a font. Any help will be appreciated.
